but an image of a cart drawn on a ceramic pot found in Central Europe dates back to about 5,500 years ago.
Really neat we can also trace back to when the wheel was created from ceramics with a picture drawn of them from almost 6,000 years ago.
Can't even begin to imagine how life altering that was to them at the time.

Again, really interesting that they were able to trace what was on his arrow to blood, meaning he had been previously fighting other people 5,300 years ago.
wild bovines that stood over six feet at the shoulder and had long, curved horns (they're now extinct).

It's probably worth mentioning that much of this work creating maize from teosinte, learning to freeze-dry potatoes and detoxify cassava, and identifying wheat and rice as valuable plants, was probably done by women.
Just think it's fascinating how many of these techniques are still used in today's society, like refrigerating / learning to freeze dry a variety of things.
